Standard Poker Deck
Bridge and poker are two of the most played card games in the world. Loads of people play these games, however not many people know the difference between poker playing cards
Before we get started with depicting the differences, we will point out some of the similarities between these two decks. Excluding the jokers as well as the extra cards, there are 52 cards in each deck for poker and bridge. Therefore, quite commonly, one can play a bridge game with a poker deck and vice versa. However, the difference creeps in as far as the dimensions are concerned.
If you were to notice closely, the bridge cards are narrower as compared to the poker cards. The simple reason is that you are required to hold the cards for a longer time in bridge games than poker games. The bridge cards are 3.5 inches long and 2.25 inches wide. On the other hand, the poker cards are also 3.5 inches long but 2.50 inches wide. In simple terms, the poker decks are a little wider than the bridge decks. These days, a majority of playing cards are available in the size of the poker deck.
Bridge decks are usually available with plastic cards. There is a specific way of caring for these cards. For an instance, you would need to maintain a constant temperature in order to store these cards. 68 – 72 degrees Fahrenheit is the most suitable temperature for such cards. After use, these cards must be placed back into their packages, with extra cards and jokers on the top to avoid warping. While cleaning these cards of sticky stuff and grime, you could use a solution of dishwashing liquid with lukewarm water as well as some drops of vinegar. Pat it dry before storing them. Avoid treating these cards with talcum powder. Plastic cards are extremely durable and would last for a few years, in the best condition. Therefore, plastic cards often turn out to be cheaper than the paper cards since they don't have to be replaced so often.
